....sigh....
. . ok people ... please listen this time. . . random numbers are random ... it doesnt matter how many times you THINK you should win/lose ... the rng algo still runs a random sequence . . ask any first year psycho student about the HUNDREDS of studies on how humans see patterns in chaos and you will start to understand it a little more . . you WANT to see a patter ... you NEED to see some pattern and so you DO see a pattern . . an old book on the matter can be seen through google here: http://books.google.com/books?id=B4agXAUYv6QC&dq=psychology+and+random+numbers The actual recitation is here: http://books.google.com/books?id=B4agXAUYv6QC&pg=RA3-PA201&lpg=RA3-PA201&dq=psychology+and+random+numbers&source=web&ots=JVMj9Y9Iyr&sig=gnAYa77PNSRIlYqTDxJDk8UVNCI#PRA3-PA204,M1 . . yes, yes, i know ... but you just KNOW in your dear little heart that this isn't really really really really random ... there MUST be something going on! . you are right ... it's your little brain telling you that there is a pattern where none exists . . so listen up snowflake ... it's random ... get over it. |
